    During testing for the 2002 season at Mugello.

    Michael made the most money in 2004 - around $80 million. He was beat that year by Tiger Woods by a few hundred thousand. His income dropped a fair bit in 2005 and 2006.

    Overall I think he's worth around $600MM. That'a a conservative estimate...

    Michael actually said something untrue in the video - about the absolute top speed of an F1 car. Because of the drag caused by the open tyres, there is no way an F1 car can go faster than the low 400km/h range (versus "beyond 500km/h" as he said in the video). :D

    I read in magazine here that he gets AU$2.5 million per race from Ferrari. His net worth is close to AU$1 billion they reckon? Not sure how true that is. :)

    If you are interested in keeping a flash video copy...submit the URL to http://keepvid.com/. After they massage the video, you are presented with a *.flv file to download to play on your own computer.

    This technique works for videos on youtube.com also.

    I think Shumacher deserves every penny. Gees, he puts his life on the line every day at work living on the edge & has carved out his place w/ the elite of the elite of extraordinary race car drivers in the pinnacle of motorsports. It pretty much doesn’t get any better.

    Amazing how modest he was then and still is today.

    No doubt crashing into the wall and contemplanting quiting shows that he is in fact human -

    Thanks for the post !

    After watching the video, I think it is safe to say, Michael is the luckiest man alive. Come on now, he get's paid millions and soon billions to drive some of the fastest cars in the world. What a life!

    I know! I searched and searched but could not find the full video, there must be a bit more after where it cuts off, it doesn't seem right to end it there. As much as I am not a Schumacher fan for the multitude of bonehead things he has done (which, as good as a driver as he is, he never had to do) I am sorry to see him go.

    It was all the amazing drives, drives with heart, that still make me respect him though. Like him watching him from the Casino Square in Monaco 06 come from the back to 5th, while Massa who started from the back also, struggled to pass even a Super Aguri; or watching him live in Canada 02, I believe, in the rain driving like a master. While everyone else was slipping and sliding, he was there smooth as can be, looking like he was going slow, but leading the way.

    That's not surprising. He is a talented and skillful driver. Most of us only wish we had so much skill.

    The rape that Tyson went to jail for happened at the Canterbury Hotel in downtown Indianapolis. Some of the F1 teams stay there. Next door is a historic steak house, St. Elmo's. We were at the bar when MS came in for dinner in 2002.

    I've read Tyson's share of his prize money was $325 million AFTER he paid all of his agents and managers, it didn't mention the IRS, even if it was only $150 million after taxes, how dumb do you have to be, not put 2 or 3 or 20 million away for a rainy day.

    Well, how many of us would like to get punched and beaten badly every day. All the jabs and hooks to the head must have had a lasting effect on Mikey T.
